Prospect Of Building . Pulp and Pane,
Mill.


Every day Augustus boom seem. to be in.
creasinR and last evening . meeting v.s held
a. the Augusta House of deep interest and
importance to every citizen. 1t was an in.
formal gathering of gentlemen to talk over
ana consider the project OF building mill in
THIS city to Manufacture pulp from wood, also
=" '"iii In connection to make the pulp into
paper. The following gentlemen from Bo..
TON were In attendance: Ex-Governor Alex.
ander ID. Rice. Jacob Edwards, Moses Kim.
Dali, james w. Clark, Dexter N. Richards.
James Brown and VIM. Endicott. Jr. Ex.
Iov. Rice, as is we'll known, 10 at the head
OF the well know firm of paper dealers, Rice
& Randall, Boston, and he is one of the Did
est and most extensive manufacturers of
paper IN the country, it being only Recently
that he bought into the Dennison mill. The
o'hef gentlemen are all interested IN the Ed.
wards Manufacturing Co., and M. Richards
is President
The following Augusta gentlemen were in
attendance Elias Milliken, John L. Stev-
ems, b. +. Parrot. Thomas Lsmbard. Mayor
Macomber, Alden Sprague, Orvil!e d. Baker,
j. IL. Manley, C. n. Mason, John A. Wood
sum, Charles S Hlchborn and others.
The evening was occupied in a general
tax. Mr., Rice who has been in the paper
business all his life, furnished some very in
teresting information about pulp and paper
making and answered numerous questions.
II a mill should be built, and of course
there Is nothing settled as yet, the whole
matter being simply talked of, its capacity
would probably be about ten tons of pulp
and paper per day. This would require an
expenditure of from $3.50, 900 to $500, 900 for
the plant and the employing of some l25
ands, portion of whom would be skilled
workmen. The location would be at the east
end OF the dam, where there there is plenty
OF land and unlimited power and an abundance
OF pure water, which is a necessity ia manu-
factories. The material for the pulp would
consist mostly Of spruce, which makes the
best fibre of any of the soft woods that can
be had mere. Refuse from the saw mills,
such as edgings, slabs, etc. could all be
worked up and purchased at a very reasona:s
bic price. Furthermore, spruce logs from
up river could be protitably used. The wood
would De reduced to pulp by chemical pro-
cess.
Today the visiting gentlemen will examine
the water power, the proposed site, and note
the advantages and disadvantages. What
the result viii be is 10 doubt, but the citizens
should be unit in supporting an enterprise
like this, which can but add to the prosperity
and growth Of our city.

In these piping times Of new enterprises it
would be well for our citizens to have an eye
to our fishery interests if Fish Commissioner
Stillwel's advice is to be taken. In speak
ing of the salmon f'heries of the Penobscot
he said yesterday that they had been worth
thousands If dollars to Bangor and there was
ns reason why we should not have as prolific
water in the Kennebec. People here, he
thought did not have their ewes open to this
matter; they should see to it that the fish
wav was open and in effective operation. The
fish commissioners could not keep running
here to see the wav. 1t was illegal, he said,
to fish between the dam and Kennebec
Bridge except with single hook, and he in
timated that nets were frequently cast in
this forbidden water and salmon cap
tured. Yesterdays Bangor Wing says
Eleven salmon rose to the fly on Saturday but
only three were landed, two in the forenoon
and one in the afternoon. Mr.. Fred Aver
taking one each in the forenoon and after
noon, weighing respectively seventeen and
twenty pounds, and Mr.. Jerome Philbrook
one in the forenoon, from the Bangor side,
weighing seventeen pounds Sunday, in dis
regard of the day, large number went up to
try their luck or witness their trial. The re-
suit was that fifteen fish were struck and
eight landed, one of them tipping the scales
at twenty-three pounds and half. Since
the fishing commenced on Wednesday. eight
cen splendid fish have been taken with the
fly, and they are delighting the palates of
friends of the successful catchers here, in
Portland, Boston, Connecticut and New
York, and there are lots more to follow.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and WON
derful things in existence. 1t is easi-
ly out Of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery. mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many 9TH
er things which ought not to be, have
made the American people nation
of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for
bottle. Seyenty-fve cents.

peculiar situation"
How will the Presidents message
be taken in the South?"
Il don't dare answer that question.
The truth has been so long obscured
by certain local questions, unreason-
ing prudence, that nobody can hope
for industrial enlightenment among
their leaders just yet. But in my view,
the South above all sections of the
Union, needs protective tariff. The
two Virginias, North Carolina,
Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia have enormous
resources and facilities for developing
and handling manufactures. They
can not do any without protection.
Even the progress so vast as some Of
those states made will be- checked if
the Presidents message is enacted in
to law. This senators and representa-
tives can prevent, but they are so
used to following anything labeled
Democratic that very probably they
will follow the President and blight
the progress already made. By the
time some of the Southern states get
free iron ore and coal, while tobacco
is taxed, they may have occasion to
sit down and calculate the value of
Democratic free trade to their local
interests"
Twill not the Presidents recon-
mendation to admit raw material
find strong support?"
Not by wise protectionists in our
time. Perhaps some greedy manu-
facturers may think that with free
coal or free iron-ore they can do great
things, but if they should succeed in
trying-well, as boys say, catch it on
rebound. IL home trade in raw
material is destroyed or seriously in
jured the railroads will be the first to
feel it. lie that vast interest is crippled
in any direction the financial fabric
of the whole country will feel it
quickly and seriously. lie any man
can give a reason why we should
arrange the tariff to favor the raw
material of other countries in competi-
ton against our material Of the same
kind, | should like to hear it. Should
that recommendation of the President
be approved it would turn 100000
American laborers out of employment
before it has been a year in operation. !"
What must be the marked and
general effect of the Presidents
message?"
ut would bring the country where
it ought to be brought-to full and
fair contest on the question of protec-
ton. The President himself makes
it the one issue by presenting no
other in his message. I think it we'll
to have the question settled. The
Democratic party in power is a stand
ing menace to the industrial prosperity
of the country. That menace should
be removed or the policy it fore
shadows should be made certain.
Nothing is so mischievous to business
as uncertainty, nothing so paralyzing
as doubt"
